With a regular internal-combustion car, I can refuel, use the restroom, and grab a cup of coffee in under fifteen minutes; and can drive in excess of 400 miles before I have to do it again.

“With a regular internal-combustion car, I can refuel, use the restroom, and grab a cup of coffee in under fifteen minutes; and can drive in excess of 400 miles before I have to do it again.”

We regularly travel 250+ miles to visit Mrs. Riverdawg’s family. There is only one Tesla supercharger on the way, and it is really 20 miles out of the way. There are 10 superchargers in a row in a shopping center parking lot in our town, but there is nothing to do nearby while recharging except wander through a Best Buy or Dick’s Sporting Goods. So, an all-electric car is infeasible for us, other than use as a city car, until more charging infrastructure is in place.
